TDMS → calculations → dashboards → reports → automation

TDMS automation, done for your lab

We build custom interfaces, calculations, dashboards and reports around your TDMS files, so your team can stop maintaining Python, VBA or DIAdem automation internally.

The problem

TDMS automation becomes somebody’s side task — and then it stays unfinished

Many labs already know what they want from TDMS data: compare runs, calculate indicators, highlight events, export tables and generate repeatable reports. The problem is that this work often stays trapped in DIAdem procedures, Python notebooks, VBA macros or fragile templates maintained by engineers, technicians or lab managers.

▣

When the lab owns scripting

  • Reports depend on manual clicks, old templates and individual know-how
  • Python, VBA or DIAdem-based automation becomes a maintenance burden
  • Small workflow changes wait until somebody has time to modify scripts or DIAdem procedures
  • Engineers spend hours formatting outputs instead of interpreting results
◆

When automation is outsourced

  • You describe the required output, rules and decision process
  • We build or replace the custom interface, calculations, plots and report generation
  • The workflow is adapted to your TDMS structure, not forced into a generic template
  • Your team gets a practical workflow instead of another internal scripting or DIAdem maintenance project
The offer

Custom TDMS automation built for your exact lab workflow

This is not a generic dashboard product. It is engineering automation work for teams that want to stop writing scripts, maintaining report templates or forcing every repeatable TDMS task through DIAdem.

Selection interfaces

Custom screens for choosing test files, test families, channels, measurement groups, metadata filters and output options.

Calculations and rules

Project-specific indicators, engineering formulas, pass/warn logic, event detection and comparison metrics.

Reports and exports

Repeatable PDF, HTML, Excel or CSV outputs with the plots, tables and summaries your lab actually needs.

Automation ownership

Instead of assigning scripting or DIAdem maintenance internally, you can outsource the implementation and focus on tests, validation and decisions.

How the work starts

You provide the workflow

We translate it into automation

A pilot can start from a small but representative case: a few TDMS files, expected plots, required calculations and the decisions your team needs from the output. From that, we build a focused automation prototype — including a path to replace selected DIAdem-based tasks when they are mostly repeatable processing, reporting or dashboard work.

03Custom buildlogic + interface
04Delivered workflowtool, scripts or prototype

Not limited to a single environment

The implementation can be shaped around the job: Python processing, local interfaces, browser dashboards, PDF generation, Excel/CSV exports, integration with an existing DIAdem-based process or a gradual replacement of selected DIAdem workflows when a custom tool is more practical.

Why outsource it

You do not have to keep every repeatable TDMS workflow inside DIAdem

DIAdem can be a strong environment for measurement data. The practical question is whether a repeatable lab workflow still needs to depend on DIAdem scripting, templates and internal maintenance — or whether it should be rebuilt as a custom automation delivered for your exact process.

Long-term cooperation option

Selected DIAdem-based tasks can be replaced, not just supported

If your team currently uses DIAdem mainly to repeat the same calculations, charts, tables, exports or PDF reports, we can rebuild those steps as a custom TDMSFlow workflow. That can reduce dependence on DIAdem seats, internal scripting knowledge and manual template maintenance.

Discuss a replacement path
Need Manual lab workflow DIAdem / in-house scripting TDMSFlow custom service
Who owns automation? Engineer or technician, often informally Internal user who knows the tool and language Outsourced implementation focused on your workflow
Flexibility Limited by templates and manual work Good, but tied to available skills, DIAdem/VBScript/Python knowledge and environment constraints Built around required logic, outputs and user interface — including DIAdem replacement when appropriate
Typical bottleneck Repetitive clicks, copy-paste, inconsistent reports Script maintenance, versioning, debugging and handover Clear scope, representative files and agreed output rules
Best fit One-off analysis Teams with internal automation capacity Labs that want results without turning engineers into script maintainers
DIAdem dependency Often still used for repeatable plots and reports Can grow into tool-specific scripts, templates and know-how Can support, wrap or replace selected DIAdem workflows as a long-term cooperation
DIAdem-aware, not DIAdem-dependent

If DIAdem is useful, the workflow can work around it. If your lab only uses it for repeatable automation, those steps can be rebuilt outside DIAdem.

Custom by default

The value is not a fixed template. It is the ability to implement the exact plots, tables, formulas and export rules your lab needs.

Less internal scripting

Your team can specify the engineering result instead of spending time on script syntax, UI plumbing and report formatting.

Toolchain ecosystem

Built around the tools engineers already recognize

TDMSFlow can sit next to Python, NI DIAdem, PDF reports, CSV/Excel exports and plotting libraries — or gradually replace selected DIAdem-based routines when a custom workflow is a better long-term fit.

Py Python®

Custom parsing, calculations, batch jobs and engineering logic without forcing every lab user to write code.

NI NI DIAdem

Recognized measurement-data environment. We can support existing DIAdem usage or rebuild selected DIAdem routines as custom automation around your process.

PDF PDF reports

Repeatable report packages for test summaries, internal reviews, validation evidence and customer-facing documentation.

Plot Plotly.js

Interactive browser charts for signal inspection, comparison dashboards and demo-ready visualization workflows.

XLS Excel / CSV

Exports for teams that still need familiar tables, downstream review files or integration with existing templates.

LV LabVIEW ecosystem

Practical positioning for labs where TDMS files originate from NI-based acquisition or test bench workflows.

DIAdem replacement path

Use DIAdem where it is valuable. Replace it where it only keeps repetitive work alive

For long-term cooperation, we can take over the recurring TDMS tasks currently handled through DIAdem templates, scripts or manual report procedures. The goal is practical: keep what works, rebuild what is too rigid, and give your lab a custom workflow that can reduce or remove the need for DIAdem in selected processes.

Brand names are used descriptively. TDMSFlow is independent and does not imply endorsement, certification or partnership with NI, the Python Software Foundation or other vendors.

Interactive example

A small example of what custom TDMS automation can output

This demo is synthetic and runs fully in the browser. It shows the kind of table, chart, KPI and report workflow that can be built from your real TDMS data.

The deliverable can be as practical as the job requires

A project can be a small report generator, a local application, a dashboard, a batch processor or a long-term replacement for repeatable DIAdem tasks that no longer need to live inside a desktop engineering tool.

01

Pick tests from a TDMS file base and compare selected runs.

02

Apply project-specific formulas, limits and event-detection rules.

03

Generate repeatable PDF, HTML, Excel or CSV outputs.

04

Package the workflow so lab users can run it without touching scripts or maintaining DIAdem templates.

Pilot project

Have a TDMS task your team should not be scripting manually?

The best first step is simple: send a short description of your current TDMS workflow, the outputs you need and whether you already use DIAdem, Python, Excel or another internal process. A pilot can start from one concrete automation goal, and longer cooperation can gradually replace the DIAdem tasks your team no longer wants to maintain.
